Violencia en el noviazgo offline y online, y la presencia de algunos factores asociados en hombres gay mexicanos.

“…Por último, se pudo aprobar la séptima hipótesis que planteaba una alta frecuencia en la práctica y recepción del sexting, por lo que estos hallazgos estarían en consonancia con lo sugerido por trabajos previos en donde se ha resaltado la aceptación de esta actividad por la comunidad gay (Needham, 2020). Sobre ello, una explicación podría versar sobre la idea de que el sexting representa una herramienta de conexión con otras personas sin la necesidad de expresar abiertamente su sexualidad (Hertlein y Shadid, 2015), lo que al mismo tiempo, les permitiría explorarla con mayor libertad y conocer nuevas parejas (Bauermeister, et al, 2014).…”

Umgang mit Eltern-Kind-Konflikten aufgrund der Vermutung mediatisierter sexualisierter Gewalt: Eli

“…Forscher*innen beobachten beispielsweise eine kommerziell begünstigte Pornografisierung innerhalb der digitalen Cis-Gay-Community, deren Entsprechung durch Jugendliche ein Vulnerabilitätsfaktor für Täter*innenstrategien sein kann (Tziallas, 2015).

Besides engaging more in consensual sexting, LGBTQ+ adolescents are also more often the targets of aggravated sexting when compared to their heterosexual peers, as they are more frequently pressured to sext (Van Ouytsel et al, 2019).…”

“…Sexting seems to be a more common and acceptable practice among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) adolescents. Indeed, existing research showed that LGBTQ+ young people engage in different sexting behaviors more frequently compared to their heterosexual peers (Foody et al, 2021; Hertlein et al, 2015; Morelli et al, 2016; Needham, 2021; Van Ouytsel et al, 2019; Wachs et al, 2021).
